A Warm Place to Stay

Only some know that feeling, When it reaches you and touches lightly, The warm light from the sun, Coming through the window in your living room, Even the warmth you can’t feel, The warmth of love, Love from you to your family and your family to you, Only some know that feeling, Safety inside the walls, away from the outside beings, And the food your parents make on that very stove, Filled with great flavors and spices, The smell of food cooked on your barbecue, A bed to sleep in at the end of the day, The smooth sheets layed out for you, Ready to relax for the night, Wishing everyone good night, And only some know that feeling, When safety surrounds you, Blocking the raging winds beyond, Some are not grateful for this, but some are, Those people understand, That there are people who don’t have a place to call home.
